Labyrinth at Shoalwater Bay
“Awareness is the greatest agent for change.” Matthieu Ricard
There are places to go and places I’ve been,
and many worlds I’ve ever dreamed,
but none compare to the winding path
that leads to inner life and being,
to the eye a gentle path,
to the heart a formidable journey,
the mindful quest is the greatest quest of all.

The first one I saw was all bible and I could not stomach it. The next we’re not but for some reason afraid. I would not be now, as long as not religion based.

Just ignore any script or directives and simply walk it, don’t be held captive by any additions. Those who live near rivers or ocean can draw one in the sand, but there are many that are not religious – that is – they are offered to all.

A wonderful and profound poem. I like the simplicity of the Shoalhaven Labyrinth – a simple outer form that leads to great inner complexity – your poem has the same tone.

I am very happy about the daily poems, although sometimes they are difficult for me to understand. Because English is not my native language. But today even more connects us the common love for the labyrinth.
